What's with the laugh...?

[ballies]

I’m surprised you didn’t just turn around and run away.

[selfimmolation]

I don't run away. [ first of all. known character trait. he is looking sulky. ]

[ballies]

I figured. But that means you have to deal with me giggling at your reactions.

[selfimmolation]

There's nothing to giggle about!!

[ballies]

It’s cute!

[selfimmolation]

Cute?!

[ballies]

[ AAAAA she's trying so hard not to laugh help ]

Stop, it is. Don't go all toxic masculinity on me.

[selfimmolation]

Toxic...what?

[ballies]

The attitude that men shouldn't cry, or can't be cute, or anything like that because it's "not what a man does" or something like that.

[selfimmolation]

[ ok he absolutely has toxic masculinity he's a shonen but he laughs at that anyway ]

Can't I just want you to not call me cute because you're being a pain?

[ballies]

[ toxic… … fragile… ]

Wow. [ wow ] Being called cute’s a compliment, trust me you’d know if I was being mean.

[selfimmolation]

You're only saying it when making fun of me, it's a little mean.

[ballies]

When did I say I was making fun of you?

[selfimmolation]

You were laughing at my reaction!!

[ballies]

Because it was cute!!

[selfimmolation]

Tama, we're cycling.

[ballies]

[ dies in the circle ]

I promise it’s not me making fun of you? [ both are true. ]

[selfimmolation]

Fine, fine. I guess I can live with you thinking I'm cute.

[ballies]

[ victory. hehe. ]

Sounds like a fair deal to me.
